I'm not surprised at all that you feel calm. You've done your homework, and now your wardrobe is in a position to serve you, whatever you're doing. Godspeed and may your navigation be smooth!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-value-of-a-functional-wardrobe-and-ffbos#post-900582 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:51:20 +0000 Peri 900582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wonderful! But what is an FFBO?&nbsp;<br /><br />Regardless, it is amazing how having the right clothes can help us stop fussing over clothes and&nbsp;focus on what we need to do. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-value-of-a-functional-wardrobe-and-ffbos#post-900566 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:59:21 +0000 Anonymous 900566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hear what you say Krista, what a lovely idea to write this post:)<br />I'm not in your position yet with my wardrobe, but I'm hope that the journey I've started will lead me to the happy place you are in right now with yours. I agree that YLF is indeed a gift. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-value-of-a-functional-wardrobe-and-ffbos#post-900561 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:50:34 +0000 Suz 900561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, Krista, that is a wonderful post and a wonderful testament to YLF. I feel very similar myself. &nbsp;<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-value-of-a-functional-wardrobe-and-ffbos#post-900543 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 11:54:31 +0000 krishnidoux 900543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good for you! Wow, I am tired just to read about your busy life... but isn't it nice to have what we need at hand in terms of dressing? It means less stress, more sleep, and this is always welcome. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-value-of-a-functional-wardrobe-and-ffbos#post-900542 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 11:51:22 +0000 Ingunn 900542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How thoughtful of you, both to attend the funeral and to post to us. I'm sure you have everything covered. Good luck with both driving and whatever else today. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-value-of-a-functional-wardrobe-and-ffbos#post-900537 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 11:48:30 +0000 missvee 900537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <b></b>Yes - YLF in action! &nbsp;Sounds like you have both events covered.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-value-of-a-functional-wardrobe-and-ffbos#post-900532 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 11:20:37 +0000 Krista 900532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good morning fabbers,<br /><br />It's 7 am on a Saturday and I just have time for a quick post while the iron is heating up to press my clothes.<br /><br />I wanted to express my sincere thanks for all of the guidance and support we provide to each other (and that we receive from Angie!) to&nbsp;create a functional wardrobe as it really proves its worth when life gets hectic.<br /><br />Earlier this week one of our office assistants lost her father suddenly to a heart attack. &nbsp;Her home town is over 2 hours away from here. &nbsp;Last night as I was leaving school and on my way to an evening commitment, another colleague and I&nbsp;decided that we would make the drive this morning to attend the funeral in her home town.<br /><br />At one time, I might have experienced serious stress trying to find something appropriate wear, in addition to something comfortable enough to wear for a 2+ hour drive. &nbsp;However, this morning, I hopped out of bed, took out a FFBO and am now dressed to drive to and attend this funeral. &nbsp;I have time to eat, walk the dog and gas up the car before I go. &nbsp;A sense of calm reigns - which I will need because I'm driving into an area I'm not familiar with!<br /><br />I will return later today in time to shower, change and go to another event about 40 minutes away. &nbsp;I feel confident that I'll be able to do this with minimal stress.<br /><br />Many thanks to all of you and Angie - YLF truly is a gift!<br /><br /><br /><br />
